The Marie Redmond Tuition® Difference
With our unique marking system, QuickMark® by Marie Redmond, we share critically important insights (where relevant to your child), that could make all the difference to their 11+ outcome. This could include but not be limited to: poor concentration levels in the exam hall; general behaviour; incorrect answer sheet marking technique and skipped questions. Our students receive valuable feedback to ensure that in subsequent mock exams and in their real 11+ test, they won’t make the same mistakes again. Our software shares valuable insights to ensure that your child is fully prepared for their big day.
With Marie Redmond Tuition you can make as many amendments to your child’s 11+ mock exam session as you wish, at no extra cost, either to an alternative 11+ mock test paper or your booking date. It’s easy to make a change too, and you can do so by simply logging into your account. All we require is at least 72 hours’ notice before the date of the 11+ mock exam booking you wish to change.
- Video Feedback for every incorrectly answered question, with Marie Redmond 11+ Intelligent Video Learning®
- Every 11+ mock exam paper and question is unique
- Real exam conditions – our 11+ mock exams are not online
- Administered using pre-recorded audio
Useful information

In short, the more exam sessions you book, the more practice your child will get.
Each mock exam session (e.g. exam A) simulates the real 11+ experience as closely as possible, with the same level of difficulty, number of papers, length of papers, and timings. For instance, if your child takes the Buckinghamshire Exam A, they will sit two papers with a short break in between, just like the actual exam.
Your child can sit up to 17 of our mock exams without repeating questions. Within each exam type, papers with different letters contain no repeated questions. However, Slough and Kendrick exams with the same letter share some questions and cannot be selected together in the same booking. To avoid duplication, choose different letters across these two exam types even when booking separately, for example, Slough A and Kendrick B.
In most (but not all) cases, our exam season begins with paper A and ends with paper G. However, papers can be sat in any order. They are designed to reflect the real 11+ exam as closely as possible and therefore the difficulty level of each exam is the same.

As Close as Possible to the Actual Exams
One of our core aims is to get as close to the real exam papers as possible. That’s why, each and every year, we meet with students in order to gain useful insights into the actual exams. During these meetings we have in-depth discussions about the types of questions they encountered, including any new types that hadn’t been seen previously.
In addition, we also discuss the timing of sections and the layout of the papers and answer sheets. Following our feedback sessions, we annually adapt our 11+ mock exam papers to ensure your child is thoroughly prepared, and on course to achieve the best grades.
In 2024 our students reported that Marie Redmond Tuition’s 11+ mock exams were very similar to the actual test. The prevailing view was that the 11+ mock tests were ‘just like taking a mock exam’.

We welcome bookings for all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, as our 11+ mock exams are held in a single room, we are unfortunately unable to provide exam access arrangements such as additional time, rest breaks, or a separate room. These adjustments are available in many school settings but cannot be accommodated within our venue and exam format.
If your child normally receives additional time or other access arrangements in school, they are still very welcome to sit our mock exam. Please bear in mind that their score may not reflect the mark they could achieve under their usual exam conditions. As we do not have sufficient comparative data, we are unable to estimate how much difference additional time or other access arrangements might make to an individual child’s result.
Your child’s 11+ mock exam papers and completed answer sheets will not be released. Questions answered correctly are not included in the feedback or available separately on request.
